常规等时性质量测量中系统性偏差的实验研究

基于重离子储存环建立的等时性质谱术(IMS)是测量远离稳定线核素质量的有效工具。但是，采用常规IMS测量缺中子一侧的核素质量时，发现T_z=-1/2和T_z=-1核素的质量测量结果在宽时域范围内存在系统性偏差。本工作利用CSRe直线段上的双飞行时间(TOF)探测器，同时测量了循环离子的周期和速度。利用这些实验信息，对常规IMS质量测量中出现的系统性偏差进行了研究。发现系统偏差是由于储存的离子动量分布不对称以及储存环能量转变参数γ_t非恒定造成的。在离线数据处理时，发现通过限制动量接收度的大小，可以消除常规IMS质量测量中的系统偏差。这一结果对采用常规IMS进行质量测量具有重要参考价值和指导意义。

Technical Improvements in the Experiment of Isochronous Mass Measurement of 58Ni Projectile Fragments

 The combination of in-flight fragment separator and the isochronous mass spectrometry(IMS) in storage rings have been proven to be a powerful tool for the precision mass measurements of shortlived exotic nuclei. In IMS, the mass-over-charge ratio is only related to the revolution period of stored ions, and the relative mass resolution can reach up to the order of 10−6. However, the instability of the magnetic field of storage ring deteriorates the resolution of revolution period, making it very difficult to distinguish the ions with very close mass-over-charge ratio via their revolution periods. To improve the resolution of revolution periods, a new method of weighted shift correction (WSC) has been developed to accurately correct the influence of the magnetic field instabilities in the isochronous mass measurements of 58Ni projectile fragments. By using the new method, the influence of unstable magnetic fields can be greatly reduced, and the mass resolution can be improved by a factor up to 1.7. Moreover, for the ions that still cannot be distinguished after correcting the magnetic field instabilities, we developed a new method of pulse height analysis for particle identification. By analyzing the mean pulse amplitude of each ion from the timing detector, the stored ions with close mass-over-charge ratios but different charge states such as 34Ar and 51Co can be identified, and thus the mass of 51Co can be determined. The charge-resolved IMS may be helpful in the future experiments of isochronous mass measurement even for N =Z nuclei.

全剥离离子94mRu44+的衰变研究

在兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环（HIRFL-CSR）上,用等时性质量谱仪首次研究了百微秒量级全剥离离子94mRu44+的衰变。94mRu44+由初级束流112Sn轰击Be靶产生,经过放射性束流线RIBLL2的筛选后注入到等时性设置的实验环CSRe中,并利用安装在实验环中的飞行时间探测器测量离子在CSRe中的循环周期。94mRu44+退激引起的质量改变会带来其循环周期的变化,由此直接观测到了94mRu44+退激到基态的过程。确定了本次实验中衰变事例探测的灵敏区间,并讨论了衰变发生时刻的测量精度。同时,测量了短寿命核素94mRu44+的质量,其半衰期约为100 μs,这是目前储存环质量谱仪测量的最短寿命核素的质量。The decay of the fully stripped ion 94mRu44+ in the order of one hundred microseconds has been studied for the first time by using the Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) at the HIRFL-CSR facility in Lanzhou. 94mRu44+ was produced via projectile fragmentation of a 112Sn primary beam bombarding on a 9Be production target. After the in-flight separation with RIBLL2, the ions were injected into the experimental ring (CSRe) and then stored there. The revolution times of the stored ions were measured by a Time-of-Flight (TOF) detector. Due to the mass change of a 94mRu44+ ion caused by its de-excitation to the ground state, hence the revolution time change, the decay process of 94mRu44+ could be directly observed in the CSRe. The sensitive window for detection of the decay events and the measurement precision of the decay time have been determined in this work. At the same time, we measured the mass of short-lived 94mRu44+ with the half-life about one hundred microseconds, which is the shortest among nuclides that have been studied by using storage-ring mass-spectrometry.     

HIAF-SRing的等时性模式光学设计

高精度环形谱仪SRing作为HIAF装置的核心之一,是获取高品质放射性次级束,并将束流用于加速器技术研究、原子物理及核物理实验的关键设备。SRing有三种运行模式:等时性模式、正常模式与内靶模式。等时性模式下,SRing运行在特殊线性光学设置下,可以精确测量寿命低至几十微秒的原子核的质量。介绍SRing等时性模式的线性光学及高阶项校正的设计方案。在使用程序GICOSY进行等时性高阶项校正数值计算后,将得到的光学传输矩阵输入到程序MOCADI进行粒子跟踪模拟。以γ_t=1.43的等时性模式为例,SRing的动量接收度为±0.20%,粒子跟踪结果显示,在仅满足一阶等时性条件时SRing的质量分辨能力R=1.6×104。在保证动量接收度不变的前提下,考虑了等时性高阶项校正后SRing的质量分辨能力提高到R=1.2×106,达到设计要求。The Spectrometer Ring, as the most important experiment terminal of the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) project, is a key device to obtain high-quality radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for atomic physics, nuclear physics experiments and accelerator technology researches. Three operation modes including the isochronous mode, the normal mode and the internal target mode, have been designed for the SRing. In the isochronous mode, the SRing operates under a special ion optics and could be used for precision mass measurement of short-lived nuclei with half-life shorter than several tens of microseconds. This study aims to design the ion optics for the isochronous mode and improve the mass resolving power of the SRing with higher-order ion-optical correction scheme for isochronism while preserve a large momentum acceptance of SRing. The ion optics and the higher-order correction for the isochronous mode are calculated with the code MAD-X and GICOSY respectively. Three ion optics with γ_t=1.43, 1.67, 1.83 settings have been calculated. The code MCOADI which utilizes the matrixes generated by the code GICOSY is used for particles tracking to verify the correction results. For the ion-optical setting of γ_t=1.43 with a momentum acceptance of ±0.20%, the mass resolving power of the SRing could be improved from R=1.6×104 to R=1.2×106, after isochronous higher-order corrections.     

缺中子核素101In低位同核异能态的首次观测

在兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环（HIRFL-CSR）上,用初级束流112Sn35+轰击了靶厚约10 mm的Be靶,产生了101In的基态和低位同核异能态。这些实验产生的碎片每25 s经过放射性束流线RIBLL2的筛选后注入到实验环CSRe中,利用飞行时间探测器测量离子在CSRe中的回旋周期。在此次实验中,磁场晃动会导致离子在环内的循环周期发生改变,传统的离子鉴别方法难以完成大部分离子的鉴别。通过发展和运用单次注入离子鉴别这一新的离子鉴别方法,有效地消除了磁场晃动对于离子鉴别的影响,并清楚地将101In基态和低位同核异能态鉴别出来,从而首次在实验中观测到101In的低位同核异能态。实验得到的激发能与理论外推值在112 keV的误差范围内一致,其低位同核异能态的寿命大于200 μs。Isochronous mass spectrometry has been applied to 112Sn projectile fragments at the HIRFL-CSR facility in Lanzhou. To produce short-lived nuclei of interest, we used projectile fragmentation of 112Sn35+ primary beams in a~10 mm thick 9Be production target. The fragments were selected and analyzed by RIBLL2 and injected into the experimental storage ring(CSRe) every 25 s. To measure revolution times of stored ions,we used a Time-Of-Flight detector installed in CSRe. A new particle identification method was developed to distinguish ions on the measured revolution time spectrum for each injection. Based on this method, the shifts of the revolution time due to instable dipole magnet fields can be corrected and the ground and isomeric states of 101In have been well-resolved. The measured excitation energy is consistent with the theoretical value in the error range of 112 keV. The lifetime of the isomeric states of 101In is more than 200 μs.
